iShelf imitates the iPod Touch Coverflow Style

ishelf_1.jpg Ok, here is a design that clearly has the Apple hangover. I know Mac World Expo is round the bend, but when experienced designers like Li Jianye take this Apple route for no apparent reason, I get hyper! This shelf does nothing spectacular except hold your current playing &favorite CDs, in the coverflow style as seen in the iPod Touch Ads. I wonder how many will fall for this bait?

Uproot furniture concept will make Monk Mad

Uproot_furniture.jpg Adrian Monk our quirky detective will have a hard time adjusting to the asymmetrical Uproot furniture by Matthew Spencer. Enforce Chaos is the theory behind this quirky furniture that camouflages functionality with eccentric looks. Neat-Freaks beware; the up-down lines on these pieces will drive you crazy! The lineup includes a Coffee Table and a storage cabinet for your audio and video equipments. The versatile coffee table is best suited in plastic or wood constructions. A layer of foam or rubber beneath the surface could encourage it to become a random seating area as well. The vertical lines may seem random and unstable, but the horizontal plane enforces stability.

Carousel Sofa inspired by Merry Go Rounds

carousel_sofa 1.jpg In many countries they don't use any furniture for seating, the simply huddle together in a circle on the floor and catch up on gossip. While this may make a cozy picture, I can't imagine it being very comfortable, unless you can sit on the ground for long hours. Andrej Statskij's Carousel Sofa takes inspiration from the fair carousel, but I think it's an extended version of the traditional divan. You get to play with 5 cushions around this 8-sided mattress to create the perfect seating option. There are two cushions that house storage options and can even function as tables. In all you get a sofa plus table plus drawer; wow that's a lot coming from a single furniture piece!

Flower blooms to accommodate six

flower_blooms_furniture.jpg Functional furniture or the type that allows you to stow it away can be very handy in homes that have a space crunch. I guess Fatih Can SARIÖZ identifies this need, because he has an interesting idea that exemplifies wrap-it-up dining table. The Flower ironically is a dining table, with seating (chairs) structured as green petals! Ironic, because I don't think there are any green-petal-flowers in the world. The table is the central focus, which holds the stands of the chair. The set simply blossoms open, just like a flower, to offer comfortable seating for six people. Ideal for the backyard or near the pool, it's a set that could do justice even inside your home, if you suffer from lack-of-space in matchbox homes!

Quick! Drown in the Step Bed

steps-beds_1.jpg The images of hands coming out of the Step Bed literally remind me of quick sand. It's like people are sinking slowly into it and ironically, I've heard somewhere that if your try and lie on your back, you won't sink in the Quick Sand. Moving on, this bed is quite a sturdy master that boasts of ecological implications. Once you're through with it, you can dismantle and completely re-cycle all its components. The makers Lago claim that both the aluminum and the felt used to make the piece can be tosses in the reuse bin. The most gratifying part is that if you live in cramped quarters and have no room for bedside table, the felt on the headboard can be shifted around. So you can wedge in a book or your newspaper in between the felt strips!

Kitsch seating in my parlor

hunting_lines_sofa.jpg Hunting Lines ottoman and sofa are a set of comfortable seating options by Daniel Becker. Reclining into one of them will sure be a luxury and maybe a conversation starter as well. The contrasting yellow of the ottoman is an attention-grabbing tactic that really works. The first thing that catches your eye is the bright yellow border, but that I guess is its biggest USP as well.

King's Crown, forever under your bum!

crown_chair.jpg Yeah, the thought of sitting on a bejeweled crown doesn't sound so cushy but the truth of the matter is…if it's Andy Kurovets' Crown Chair, then it's worth your tushy! Inspired by a crown, this futuristic looking chair makes you feel like a King! Looks like you could rule the world sitting on it. I can picture it in my den, in front of my TV and me sitting on it and commanding the house to run to my tunes. The wire-mesh curve on the side and the square highlights on the bottom ring; all these with the defiant base, give the throne a royal look. Least I get a bit haughty with the stiff upper-lip; I'm back to my humble beanbag.
